For not having forced induction, would you guys suggest getting an aluminum flywheel or stay stock. I do plan to track the car quite often. I was reading and it says the aluminum is better suited for forced induction. What're yalls thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

Will you be going to the drag strip or road course?

Kind of a mixture. Mostly road course, but I will be on the autobahn all the time. So some high speed runs will still be had

For that type of driving the aluminum flywheel would be better. For drag racing I'd recommend steel.

Hope that helps.

Steel is going to feel better on the street especially taking off from a light. A heavier flywheel is going to help keep the engine's momentum going during the clutch engagement process. I suggest a lightened steel flywheel for a compromise.

No, not if you buy a quality piece.
